Outside to keep water from entering. They really work. The only problem you can not re use them but they do the job. Another water stopper is what I call the snake. They absorb the water from the inside. Hang them up let them drip dry and use them again. I think the same company makes this item.

I beeline you should me ok. I usually spray the bottom door liking of my garage door, the walkway to the front door and the perimeter of the house. We sometimes walk around barefoot outside end haven't had an issue.

This was my question too... And it seems to be but the real test is starting school next week. So far with use around the house we have been fine! (Everyone I asked or had demonstrate showed leak proof though. This was the best option I found!)

Yes. You can not vent inside a structure. If you were mounting outside a garage the go with this unit. INSIDE a garage you NEED and indoor unit that exhausts to the exterior thru a vent. Mounting this unit in your garage is like running you car inside with the door shut - it will kill you from the CO2.

Hi Mr. Butterfield, My wife and I have our Danby Freezer in a small room in our apartment in NYC. The Danby DUF408WE Freezer is constructed so well that there seems to be no reason why it would not do perfectly well in a garage. If I had a garage, I would put the Danby Freezer in it too. Also, the Freezer is Silent when it is on! It makes a very low noise after you open the door and close it, that it sounds like it is making it airtight. The Danby Freezer has heavy duty plastic sliders that move smoothly when pushing the Freezer on a floor, they also adjust in height if a floor is a little off balanced. I feel the sliders on the Danby Freezer would not move easily on a dry cement floor, unless it was painted to a durable and smooth finish. Therefore, I would protect the floor that you put the freezer on from dry cement, corrosion and dampness. I would set the Danby Freezer on top of a 1/4" inch thick Plexiglass plastic flooring or something similar. The Danby Freezer is easy to clean and defrosts rather quickly. You can place a small one inch tall long baking pan set on the floor with the door open and any water draining out can be caught in the pan. There are no ice chunks forming inside the Freezer either. It just has a frosty coating or snowy look around the walls and elements inside the Freezer that melt off the interior when it is defrosting. The Danby DUF408WE Freezer is the Best Freezer I ever had! You will not be disappointed. Best regards and Happy Holidays for the New Year! ~ Marc

Rowdy Ron is correct. This is not a device that can be enclosed. Not at all designed for that. This is an open-air device as the instructions are very clear about. By the time & money you spend to get this enclosed you might as well have bought a whole house system. Beside that, I found this item to be untrustworthy for home back up. I suggest looking for another option for your need. Anytime you try to take an outdoor item such as this and try to "indoor" it you are asking for trouble. Better safe that sorry. Yes that sounds cliche, but in this case it applies. Safety first. I would like to have to answer a question for you again in the future. :) Rowdy Ron is correct.

I have mine indoors on a tile floor in a section of my garage. It works well. I would recommend some kind of pad underneath. Because it does splash out when the spa is turned on. It uses a regular outlet.

if your worried about air leaks, after box is mounted to inside of door apply caulk sealant around cut opening before covering with exterior frame.

Well I'm going to be honest to be considered 'code' all dryers should vent outside, big or small. They do sell kits that will vent your dryer inside but they are basically just a cup of water which the discharge blows into in hopes the water catches the dust. They don't do the best job at catching dust. Another option would be to get a HEPA rated vacuum bag and cut a hole in it then stick your hose in and duct tape around it until you have a perfect seal. When the bag gets too full just change it with another. Doing this will still dump all the humidity and heat into your living space which may or may not be a problem. Your best option is if you are able to make modifications to your apartment or live in a house then get a contractor to install a proper vent to the outside for you through the wall.

It is used on the floor in addition to the seal on your door. The rubber-on-rubber makes a good seal to keep out water and multi-segmented critters. Our driveway slopes very very slightly toward the garage door and I had a problem with water seeping under the door when it rained heavily. This stripping solved the problem nicely.

Our shed leaks also. It looks like it comes in where the valley extends to the top of the doors. We leveled the building as we went and do not know what else to do. Sorry we can't help you. We e-mailed this to Amazon.com but have not been satisfied with an answer.

It sounds like you should use WD 40. In the future, instead of "washing" the machine, wipe down with a wet washcloth. This will protect the machinery from moisture.

I have two concerns with your question.First, I would not put the unit in the garage due to carbon monoxide gases.Put the unit outside in a safe area.Secondly, Use only a power cord that is heavy duty, like one used for window air condition units

The best answer is that my WD unit liked it. If you have a newer model/version - then I can not answer but I know they would not want to mess with something that is working for now. Besides, it is cheep and if it doesn't work your only out a few bucks.

We use the wet/dry vac if there is a lot of standing water, we have never had water leak over the edges. If it's just a little water, it evaporates. Great not having water all over the garage floor!

My answer is to find the best permanent place for the outside unit. It's always best to leave the sealed system connected unless there is no option except to move it. And, I agree with other answers. The unit is designed for lubrication of the compressor to be in its upright position.

not a good idea to let it any piece of equipment get wet.even a power washer shouldn't be in the spray area.usually you can set it under the lee of the house or stretch a tarp over it or something.it just makes sense to protect the electrical components.some gennys have covers over the outlets but it makes sense to cover the whole thing.on the good side,i am very happy with mine. starts very easily and runs strong.good value in my opinion.you could do worse.
